The last man alive who’s never watched Game of Thrones

Posted on June 15, 2014June 15, 2014 by aussiemoose

  Once a show enters the zeitgeist in a massive, watercooler-dominating way, it is well nigh impossible to either escape conversation about it, spoilers all across the internet (although if you’re not watching the show they hardly matter now do they?) or to fake your way through said conversation about Continue Reading

Here comes the Fall … TV! Send in the Superheroes

Posted on June 1, 2014June 1, 2014 by aussiemoose

  If you’re anything like me, and if you’re drinking you’re meds-laced Snapple and faithfully attending weekly therapy sessions you probably aren’t, the headline to this post likely has you humming “Send in the Clowns”. And if it hadn’t inspired that particularly annoying piece of retro ear candy, it has Continue Reading

Farewell to Warehouse 13: “Savage Seduction” (S5 E4 review)

Posted on May 27, 2014May 26, 2014 by aussiemoose

  This was a gleeful, hilarious, over the top hoot of an episode of epic proportions. Epic I say!

It all took place, naturally enough, Continue Reading

Farewell to Warehouse 13: “A Faire to Remember” (S5 E3 review)

Posted on May 20, 2014May 19, 2014 by aussiemoose

  The rather pun happy title of the fourth last episode (yes I am counting them down, tissues in hand) in the final season of Warehouse 13, “A Faire to Remember”, would suggest that this was a tale of jocularity, fun and extreme silliness. The sort of stuff that Warehouse Continue Reading
